Mix eggs and sugar until creamy, and sugar has dissolved. Cook in a pot over another pot with boiling water in it, or double boiler. Mix constantly, and cook until it starts thickening; add chocolate, and mix well. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and let it cool down completely. Then add butter (or margarine), juice of one lemon, and mix to get silky, nice buttercream.

Preheat oven to 390 F. In one bowl mix egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl mix egg yolks with sugar for few minutes, until creamy. Add ground walnuts, and bread crumbs. It will be quite dry, then fold in egg whites. Mix until all is blended nicely, but don’t over mix. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes.

Let it cool, and then cut into two and sprinkle with a little milk, just couple of tablespoons each.Now fill the cake layers with buttercream inside, and spread all around the outside. Sprinkle generously with ground walnuts, and decorate if you wish. Enjoy!

Medena, this is one of my favorite torts! I haven never made it but ate it a lot back in Baku. I didn't have the recipe for it, and thanks to you I have it now! This is one yummy cake! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! Thank you for posting it!

Mmmm, this cake reminds me of the type of Bosnian cakes my mom makes, they are always sooooo good! But she never uses a recipe and doesn't know how much of anything she puts in there, so I'm happy I can get this from you in stead. :)

thanks! I realized I have another question. Are the bread crumbs are the dried ones that come in cannisters in the supermarket or homemade bread crumbs (and if homemade, do I dry them in the oven first or just use stale and should they be white or whole wheat or what?) thanks in advance.
